The goal is to help non-native professionals improve oral presentation skills and not let communication hinder them at work. Speech AI provides non-native speakers with in-depth feedback on speech content and oral training anywhere and anytime.
My role in this project is to discover service opportunities through PESTLE and SET Analysis and design service interactions and mobile interfaces for the App.
Opportunity Framing
Our team started researching the macro-environmental factors on speech training through PESTLE and SET Analysis, making sure we explore the opportunity possibilities.
Interviews
To further understand the need in the speech training field, we interviewed young professionals about their speech preparation experiences.
As the result of our interview, we have validated speech training services are beneficial to students and working professionals, especially for non-native speakers.
We gathered users' insights and defined our service's goals considering:
Help reduce content redundancy
